Close encounter with death

"Fuck!!!" That was the word which came to my head.

Place: Banerghatta road, near Accenture, Bangalore.

Scenario: I was comin' back home, by bus. Just as soon as I got down, from the back door, and makin' my way outta crowd so that i could cross the road behind the bus, a bloody truck, comes hurtlin' towards me, or the bus rather... i push myself as back as I can and whaaaaaam......the truck, drivin' at 60kph drives into the bus.

I move away, as soon as I can, not intendin' to obstruct some brave people climb up the truck to rescue the driver. Someone asked me, somethin' in kannada, i just nodded and left.

Nothin' for me, just my already hopeless arm which gets tired playin' a shooter game at the Leisure zone got twisted badly...its painin' yes, but since I can type this I don't think anythin' is broken.

BhejaFry, remember us talkin' 'bout the obituary on your blog and me tellin' maybe mine will come soon, not written by me of course...I was kiddin' I didn't know, my obituary's gonnna come up so sooon.

I just shudder at the thought thinkin' what 'd have been the case had the truck come a coupla seconds later...would have found my photo somewhere in newspaper along with deeksha's name, right up
